Justice Minister Rita Alarcão Júdice said today in parliament that no one lied regarding information about the destruction of chemicals seized in Operation Pacoba. The hearing was requested by the Chega party, which raised questions on the matter.

Rita Alarcão Júdice emphasized to deputies that "there was no lie, no one lied" regarding the 144 thousand euros requested by the Judicial Police for the destruction of the seized chemicals.

The minister revealed that she requested clarification directly from the national director of the Judicial Police on the matter. The Ministry of Justice had already spoken about the matter last week, but the information in the article is incomplete.
